I Spent A Whole Week Watching Videos On Conspiracy Theories

What if the whole world is a lie? Am I even real?

The internet is full of crazy, bizarre, wonders.

You can’t always believe what you read, and it always bugs me when I see someone share an article and believe it.

I remember I saw someone share an obviously fake article that was saying that Eminem said that the most beautiful girls are from Grand Island.

Then there’s those news stories that are from unreliable outlets, and then there're those tweets that say “Oh, I won the lottery and I’m going to share $1000 to everyone who retweets this.” Where’s my money at?

I always say it’s best to do your research before you post anything, and not just to do your research in general. The internet is full of trolls, anyone can literally post anything, so don’t be so gullible while reading some of these things. However, I am a fan of the internet in the sense that it lets us communicate with one another, and express our feelings (except some of us express too much).

Anyways, let’s get into what this is about—conspiracy theories.

The other day I was on Twitter and I ran into this long thread about someone’s thoughts on conspiracy theories. Some of them I was like, “Okay, I can see that being a thing” and others I’m just like, “That literally makes no sense.” After reading this thread, I got curious and looked into a series of videos done by Youtube sensation Shane Dawson. I really didn’t want to look at other sources because I was scared I’d click on something too creepy. Plus, he's super hilarious.


So basically Shawn Dawson has done many videos on conspiracy theories, and he plays this super creepy music in the background, and at times he tries to take a funny spin at these theories. Some I do admit have some truth to them, but like I mentioned, who really does know? After watching one video I just couldn’t stop, it was like video vomit (Mean Girls reference), and each time I’d watch these videos, my phone would die? That creeped me out, plus I would watch these when I was home alone (good one, Jazmin).

There are conspiracy theories about everything and everyone it seems. There’s a conspiracy theory that the moon landing never happened, and it was all one big hoax. The reasoning behind it is that they say that the US wanted to be the first ones on the moon before anyone else. That seems reasonable, although I’m still not 100 percent buying it. Then people get even more bizarre and believe the whole freakin’ moon is just a hologram that isn’t real. OK bye.

I honestly just watch these videos for fun, scary fun to be exact. It’s like a roller coaster, I’m scared while I’m on it but it’s fun at the same time. I’m not going to approach you at a party and be like, “Beyonce is a clone.” (People think that, look it up).

Anyways, it was something I just got sucked into, and some of these theories are downright hilarious and some are really creepy. Check some out when you have the chance, but I’d advise to not watch it in the dark at 1 a.m.

Also, on a creepy side note, when I first tried writing my article title and wrote, "Conspiracy Theories" my computer started glitching and acting up--crazy, right?

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
